USSS Symposium

It was started to discuss about problems concerning sustainable humanosphere in space. From 2010 to 2013, our theme was “Why do we go to space?” and the large number of participants from inside and outside the University had worthwhile talks in the every symposium. Based on progress of whole researches and discussion, our theme has been changed to “Future for human civilizations spreading into Space” from 2014 to 2016. We are discussing now about space sciences, space exploration and the development of civilization in space from a diverse range of standpoints. It is also focused on the human resources development and encourage high-school and university students to participate in our symposium.

Next our symposium will be held on 11.and 12.Feb.2017.

Our symposium has always free child care service in order to give an opportunity to participate for parents who have a small child.
